Multi-aterm is a firstly a terminal emulator like rxvt, xterm, eterm, aterm
There are many terminals emulators, so why writing another one ?
- It's a terminal emulator which is small and fast with efficent pseudo
transparency, like aterm.
- It's also a tabbed terminal emulator like GMT (gnome-multi-terminal).
- It's a terminal emulator not requiring GNOME or KDE libs, just written in
X-lib (for people not using GNOME nor KDE)
